Because people live here and are telling you that a tornado watch can sometimes be a weekly occurrence in the summer. Tornado warnings are far more rare, but even then, it generally takes tornado sirens/phone alerts to adjust people&#x

I'd venture a guess that's due to better radar and better spotting intelligence. When you can't physically see tornadoes when they're rain-wrapped, but have high confidence that they're there, you're putting li

I cannot tell you how refreshing it is that this is the top comment. Discussion around these sorts of articles is almost always railroaded with the objections that you've mentioned. While I agree that it's human nature to be skept

We suspected my 2 y/o son had a dairy allergy, so we started buying pizzas with vegan cheese to see if that relieved any of his symptoms. I thought the flavor was horrid, but my son happily devoured the pizza. Perhaps the best short-te

That’s an odd hill to die on. YouTube without ads is a lovely experience for what I’d consider a very reasonable price.

Read “The Deficit Myth” by Stephanie Kelton, it’s a primer for MMT and covers essentially everything you’re talking about.

The mental gymnastics people will play to behave like Bitcoin is anything but a FOMO ponzi scheme is extremely entertaining. They’ll proselytize this fancy new currency that'll eliminate central banking and revolutionize money transfer

You're not. The near ubiquitous rebuttal I keep reading to the actions of Twitter, Apple, etc. are juvenile slippery slope fallacies.

My close friend is a firefighter/paramedic and was told by his chief "to call this number as quickly as possible" to get on the early vaccination list. He did and was given the first dose last week. It became a race for those

It'll be closer to 6-8 weeks since these early vaccines require two doses.

There are many reasons for that: - They miss their kids - They prefer friends and activities much closer to where they live - Transit home gets far more complicated the later it gets, particularly when alcohol is involved

The nerds (I say that will all due respect) will fight your stance on this until the end of time, but of course you're correct. There have been discussions of distributed GitHub since the day the website launched, but the concept will

Those seats with wings better be vinyl, otherwise there's going to be a lot of drool that's impossible to clean between flights.

In the meantime, the market is up 20% since January and PE ratios for the largest companies are still reasonable. Uber’s success or failure has no bearing on the broader health of the market.

I graduated from college and moved to SF in the mid-00's and it was still a ghost town after the bubble burst. In hindsight, it was the perfect time to come, because rent was still very depressed and my generation didn't have any

That's true, but you'll find that most of the senior GP's still work on Sand Hill, because the vast majority live down there.

It's great when you're fresh out of school, single, and want to bury yourself in the work. It's unbelievably annoying after a few years when you're just trying to have dinner with your wife without overhearing someone ta

Makes perfect sense. Option 1: buy $1.5M SF condo, continue with the startup rat race even though you effectively won the stock option lottery. Option 2: move back to the Midwest where many grew up, buy $350k 4bd/4bth home, retire befo

We can both be correct. There can be a catalyzing event that caused their departure (your follow up post mentioned product disputes), and that they also want to follow other pursuits (eg. have fun). My point was that it was quite a stretch

I'd venture that they're extremely wealthy, still friends, and decided it's time to go have fun rather than prescribe this to Facebook's ethical challenges like the article would have you believe.

This is the oft-cited dream of founders that think they’ll just pay back the VC’s if the relationship isn’t working out. The reality is that no investor in their right mind would take that deal if they had any confidence in a more successfu
